Vista, CA Health and Fitness

Cardiffit Gym & Yoga Studio's 8,000-square-foot space showcases ocean views that make the most of the center's Cardiff-by-the-Sea location. Exercisers admire these vistas as they execute circuit workouts using the facility's ellipticals, free weights, and weightlifting machines. But unlike the costar of a CGI walrus, they need not always act alone. The studio holds yoga classes ranging in style from Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow to Hatha, and on the first Friday of every month, yoga happy hour follows sun salutations with a reception with wine and snacks. There are also personal trainers on hand to organize beachfront exercises, strength training for athletes, and boot camps.
